insects

A pest control company is bringing a pop-up restaurant to D.C. for one day only. It’s going to be set up Wednesday at the Occidental Grill & Seafood on Pennsylvania Avenue NW from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Here’s the kicker: They are serving up steaming hot insects.

The Food and Agriculture Organization issued a report which asserts that insects should be further incorporated into global eating habits as a means of combating world hunger and health problems. The report additionally noted that Western cultures and attitudes have hindered progress in regards to researching insects as a viable food source.
